It’s okay, to be haunted by the past,
Somewhere along the way
And I shall dust those pictures
Smiling at me
And just share the memories once more
And be back to the present on time!

It’s time to bid farewell
To those times I cherish
Only to wake up
And find that it was a dream.
A dream, so hauntingly beautiful,
The beauty of which never lets me sleep,
The beauty of which I never enjoy otherwise if not for the dream,
A dream, I can only dream to have
And never otherwise.
It’s time to get past that dream,
And come to the present!

It’s time, to get back to the reality,
Though I wish I had a time machine,
To go back to the past,
And stay there,
Enjoying, the sweetness
And the bitterness
Of the long lost time
Tweaking those to my taste
And stay there,
Enjoying the changes
And then get back to the present
Relishing the past
For the joy it had been,
And then peek at the past with peace!

She wakes up early every morning and soon starts her work for the day.
Rest of the family wakes up later to the aroma of food.
As they treat themselves to the breakfast, she sneaks in a quick shower, getting ready for (more) work.
Getting their kids ready for school comes under her job description too.
Questions like
“Mom, where is my homework?”
“Did you see my watch, honey?”
flung around lavishly and they are met with answers that made the questioner happy.
Yes, she has answers for every nerve racking question. She is supposed to know what is needed in advance! Does she have the sixth sense to know anything and everything around her, one might wonder, but that’s one question that no one ever asked her. Was it because she was expected to do so?
Hug for the kids, Kiss for the love, she is there to give generously, but did anyone ever bothered to return the favor?

She attended the PTA meetings, befriended other parents at their children’s school, volunteered for school activities. All she did within the luxury of limited time.

She worked for eight or more hours outside home. In the evenings, hungry kids waited for her back at home. She cooked meals, she cleaned house, did laundry, laid out fresh clothes for tomorrow, cleaned dishes, helped kids with their homework, read books for them and put them to sleep singing lullaby.

She made her husband’s dreams hers, helping him in making those a reality in every way she could.

She listened to his complaints about his boss and colleagues at his work. She offered comfort. She knows when he is upset even before he was aware of it. His heart was safe with her. He depended on her for every tiny little thing. But he never admitted to her that how vital she is in his life. Does he ever realize that, I wonder!

She lends her ears to her friends when they are in need of a listener. She encourages them, comforts them, and just be with them.
She was there when her parents or in-laws needed her.

She might not be able to solve the global warming or the terrorist attacks, but every day, every moment she parts with a bit her to her family and friends, without expecting anything in return, just for their happiness!

She is tired for most part of her day and her life, but you will not see her tired! She is upset many times, but you will not see tears spilling from her eyes!

She is a mother, daughter, sister, friend, wife, grandmother, employer, employee, a stranger. She is just a random person you meet on the street every day.
Appreciate Her! Love Her! Respect Her!

They looked at each other, yearning to be there for each other. They wanted to make it work.

At times, it was awkward to go from ex-boyfriend/girlfriend to boyfriend/girlfriend. One would think that it is hard to maintain the relationship as ex-boyfriend/girlfriend. But they found out that it is harder to maintain the relation when status changes from ex to current. Now they have to tread carefully not to hurt each other’s feelings with the doubt lingering in their minds ‘Is he/she right for me?’.

They pretended that everything is alright. They ignored the screams inner voice made. How can anyone blame them? They loved each other so much that they were there for each other regardless of their relationship status.

She felt that he is not utilizing his potential to the fullest and he felt that she is advancing a lot ahead for him to catch up with her. He thought that her world was big and he was a tiny being there wherein fact she did everything possible to accommodate him in her busy life.

They both were dubious that how long would it possible to walk without stepping on the inevitable but they never shared their doubts with each other.

But today they saw it, together – the once familiar places and moments staring at them like they are from different time-space continuum. Today they realized that it doesn’t matter that they love each other and they want to be together, they just can’t be together.

He looked on pondering what it could be. Are those colorful lights or decorations of some other sort? Having gained the eye sight only recently, many of the visuals the world offered was absolutely new to him.At nights, he didn’t just see the darkness, he saw the star patterned sky brightened in moon light and wondered how the darkness is glorified with such little studs pinning all over on it and the luminous moon illuminates them in just the right amount, no more, no less.

When the horizon was whisked with hues of red, he not only saw the painted sky but imagined that it was time for the dazzling sun to leave but the sky was not done playing with him, so the sun left some colors for the melancholy sky to make it cheerful until the bright moon joined.

For him darkness was not the absence of light. Darkness was when he wondered what light was, what brightness was, what colors were! And now darkness is light playing hide and seek.

Every new sight was a new experience for him, every new glance brought a new life to him.He saw the world once he wished to see and the way he saw the world, it was much prettier as if his vision was the one thing which the earth missed to reveal its beauty.

Amma, I want cookies. You can give me as many as you would like, but don’t give me low numbers okay? Why is the sky never ending? Why is Mr.Bean called Mr.Bean, why not BT or George? You might have guessed the people involved in the conversation above. Yes, these are from my kid whose […]

Yesterday we walked around 10 kilometers, ie. 6.2miles. It wasn’t intentional at all. We set out to the park where the fair and fun was happening. But since they were still in the process of setting up, we thought to stop by at the marathon organized by my husband’s office. It was in another park 20 […]

If you could erase one person from your past, would you? The question stared at me. And there, the charades of people with instances that scorched my soul, that I wanted to and would like to erase from my past flashed before my eyes. Oh no, I am exaggerating. There are only four, or five people […]

I just couldn’t bring myself to write the post/posts I wanted to write. Yes, it doesn’t sound right. I am stuck not because I ran out of ideas. My idea book is overflowing with them at this point. Still I am not able to write what I want to write. Does it happen to you […]
